"Dalem, Sayang" Was Denny's Last Message Before Disappearing on KM Virgo; Video Call Unanswered

BOYOLALI, KOMPAS.com - Denny Dwi Saputra, a resident of Candi Village, Ampel District, Boyolali Regency, sent a message to his wife, Dewi Indrati (34), early Sunday morning (September 13, 2026) before their communication was cut off.

The message was sent around 12:26 a.m. WIB.

“Dalem, Sayang,” Denny wrote to his wife.

Denny is suspected to be one of the victims in the KM Virgo Transport 8 incident in the Java Sea.

Made a Video Call to His Wife

Earlier, Denny had said goodbye to Dewi via text message after boarding the ship on Saturday afternoon.

Dewi replied to the message, but her response only showed a single check mark.

“Yes, I remember he said goodbye before boarding the ship on Saturday afternoon. I replied, but it only showed one check mark. Then at 12:26 a.m., he replied just with ‘Dalem, Sayang,’ that’s all,” Dewi said, quoted from Tribun Solo on Saturday (September 19, 2026).

Around 12:40 a.m. WIB, Denny called Dewi again via video call.

However, the call was not answered because Dewi was already asleep.

“Then at 12:40 a.m., the video call wasn’t answered. I was already asleep then,” she said.

Dewi later woke up and tried to contact Denny around 2:15 a.m. WIB, but the call did not connect.

“Then I called back around 2:15 a.m.,” she added.

After that, Dewi no longer received any communication from Denny.

Dewi said text messaging was not their usual way of communicating while Denny was working.

As a truck driver, Denny spent most of his time on the road, moving from one region to another.
